Dreamworks Wants To Get Into The ‘Halo’ Movie Making Game

The road to a Halo movie adaptation has certainly been a bumpy one. Originally, Universal and Fox split the rights and Peter Jackson was brought in. But then Jackson wanted too much money and Universal was all like, "F*ck you!" And then Jackson was all like, "No. F*ck you!!" Then he walked, effectively killing the project.

Now Dreamworks is stepping in to try to make a film adaptation of the Halo BOOKS and not the game, so that Universal can’t turn around and be all like, "F*ck you!!!" Sounds like a solid plan, except that someone in Hollywood had to own up to knowing that Halo books exist. Nuuuuurrrdddd!!!!!

At any rate, Microsoft has not agreed to hand over their prize pig just yet, so we’ll have to see how this plays out. If it doesn’t fail, they should just film the hot girl in the picture above while she plays Halo. Or I guess as she reads the Halo books, so that Universal doesn’t step in. I’d still watch that. I’d even buy the novelization of the movie about her reading the books. Actually sounds like a lot of work. I’m gonna go play videogames now. (NY Mag)
